Cockroaches by Jo NesbøMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thailand certainly appears to be quite an exotic place with lots of diverse people from many backgrounds. It is probably beautiful in its own way, too. Still, the corruption, drugs and sexual depravity described in this book does not make me want to visit anytime soon. Harry Hole, however, finds himself sent from Norway to discreetly solve the murder of the Norwegian ambassador in one of the bedrooms of an American-style motel which is actually a brothel. Harry is not drinking and so is very much clear-headed in his investigation, though that does not make it an easier for him to unsnarl the many threads in this ball of intrigue. I'd pretty much figured out the culprit by part 5 but must admit could not sort the motives for the various murders. Not to worry,Jo Nesbo is smarter than I and spelled it all out by the tumultuous ending. Cannot wait for the next case!!
